Harry Belafonte Wants President Obama to Jail Dissentersby L. Neil Smith
Hey, Wilma, I've been getting madder and madder (not ar you) since I read this
crap you sent me about Harry Belafonte, who made millions from American capitalism and now wants
Obama to put all the people who made him rich in a concentration camp. He's either evil, senile, or
impossibly stupid.

Sworn upon the Altar of Godby A.X. Perez
In 1800 Thomas Jefferson wrote the following:
Their hostility is on too interesting ground to be softened.
The delusion into which the X. Y. Z. plot shewed it possible
to push the people; the successful experiment made under the
prevalence of that delusion on the clause of the constitution,
which, while it secured the freedom of the press, covered also the
freedom of religion, had given to the clergy a very favorite hope
of obtaining an establishment of a particular form of Christianity
thro' the U. S.; and as every sect believes its own form the true
one, every one perhaps hoped for his own, but especially the
Episcopalians & Congregationalists. The returning good sense
of our country threatens abortion to their hopes, & they believe
that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in
opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly; for I have
sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form
of tyranny over the mind of man.

Red Dawn 2012: A Reviewby Sean Gangol
(Contains Spoilers) After two years of staying in the can due to the financial problems
that MGM had experienced, the remake of the 1984 cult classic Red Dawn finally saw the light of day
on Thanksgiving of 2012. At first I was somewhat skeptical about how the remake of one of my all-time favorite
movies was going to turn out. When I first heard they were remaking the movie it seemed asinine to me. Back in
the mid-eighties we were still having a cold war with the Soviet Union, so it didn't seem as far-fetched to have
teenagers defending their homes from the Russians. Since the cold war has been over for quite sometime, who would
we fight on our own soil? Not to say that we don't have our share of foreign enemies, but most of them aren't the
type to parachute into Main Street America and occupy it with troops.

Neale's Weekly Gun Rant Volume 12by Neale Osborn
The next (and biggest?) assault on the 2nd Amendment is coming,
starting June 3rd. Obama is scheduled to get the UN Small Arms Treaty on his desk.
If he signs it (and we know the asshat will) it goes to the Senate, where Reid will
surely try to sneak it in with little or no debate. If it passes the Senate, it
becomes law. If that happens, we are, theoretically, obliged to comply with it's
MANDATORY registration and restrictions on gun types, quantities, and transfers,
AND registration of and limitations on type and quantity of ammunition. You can
bet your ass that this one will not go un-opposed. The Bill of Rights can ONLY
be nullified by following Constitutional procedures.

The Joy of Air Plants and Other Thoughts for Memorial Dayby Jeff Fullerton
I was on the front porch setting up used teabags in jugs of rainwater
to make Jerry Baker's weak tea solution for house plants when the mail truck rolled in. The
postman had two packages. The first one he brought out was Tropiflora. The second was CTS
Air Plants—aka Coastal Tillandsia Supply. Just getting them was a joy! Saturday morning
on a holiday weekend. Had recieved the heads up that the CTS Order was shipping day before
yesterday and expected it sometime next week. And Tropiflora I figured would ship next week.

Obama, Union Buster?by Wendy McElroy
Organized labor has been a bedrock of President Obama's political
power. How far will he go to preserve support from this key Democratic constituency?
On April 16, the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers (UURWAW)
became the first union to officially call for the repeal of Obama's signature
legislation—the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

The unabridged audio version of my 1983 novel The Nagasaki Vector,
brilliantly read by the great libertarian radio host Brian Wilson, is finally
available for purchase.

Many feel that this is the funniest book I've written so farat least
intentionallyand features our old friend Win Bear, G. Howell Nahuatl, a
sapient coyote, time traveler Bernie Gruenblum, and Georgie, the time machine
who loves him.

It is encouraging that so many county sheriffs are saying they will
not enforce any unconstitutional gun laws (except the ones already
in existence sometimes, which are just as unconstitutional mind you).
The sheriff of my county has said "not in my lifetime" even. Of course
talk and action are two different things. I suppose we will get to
see in time to come.
